"We wanted to show our support for the community and create a once-in-a-lifetime event for Chardon High School," KISS-FM program director Bo Matthews stated in a news release. "We strive to support our local listeners especially during times of need and once Chardon High School won the contest, we knew we had to make this prom even more memorable for the students."

On Feb. 27, the school was the site of a shooting in which three students were killed and another three injured.
